The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China, and there is a legend that the Dragon Boat Festival got its name this way. Once upon a time there was a great patriotic poet called Qu Yuan, because of the opposition to compromise, advocating the take Qi anti-Qin, by the Chu state ministers of the blow and framed, successively by King Huai of Chu and King Xiang of Qin's relegation and banishment. After Qu Yuan left Ying, he went eastward along the Yangtze River, walking alone and emaciated. He wore his long hair and lived a life of displacement. When Chu was destroyed, he threw himself into the Bioluo River. In order to prevent him from being eaten by the fish in the river, people threw zongzi into the river on this day. This is how the Dragon Boat Festival got its name.

Dragon Boat Festival is a very lively festival, the family package zongzi, eat zongzi, this is the Dragon Boat Festival must be customary, a variety of zongzi shape, in the countryside, some people will also pack a bookbag-shaped zongzi, given to small children sat on the waist to take to the school to eat while walking. There are many flavors, including sweet, salty, tangy, spicy, and even bitter. But it seems that because the places are different, the flavors of the wrapped dumplings are also different. People in each place are basically only used to their own package, for other places out of the flavor of some people are not accustomed to, because the filling is not the same, I still like to eat home-packed dumplings.

In the Dragon Boat Festival there is also an indispensable activity is to row the dragon boat. In the wide river, put down three or four dragon boats, a dozen people paddling paddles, a person sitting on the dragon head gong, a person sitting in the boat drums, the crowd shouted "one two" "one two", the situation can be comparable to the waves, the shore onlookers with the hot sun, but still do not want to go! Hot sunshine, but still do not forget to shout for their favorite dragon boat. And then look to the river, a few dragon boats as if a tiger breaking the river has long been racing to the death, the periphery to the friends have picked up the camera to quickly capture this spectacular scene. I'm afraid I'll never see it again.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a wonderful and happy holiday.
